Akrapovic shows off its exhaust sound for the Ferrari 458 Italia [video]

New sport exhaust system from Slovenian tuner adds 11 PS (8 kW) and 26 Nm of torque (19 lb-ft) to the Ferrari 458 Italia

Slovenian tuner Akrapovic Exhaust Systems Technology has a new sound for the Ferrari 458 Italia and they want you to hear it.

In this video you can see the Ferrari 458 Italia out for a little sprint in the fresh air with its distinct triple-piped, center-mounted exhaust. This time, though, it's fitted with a new system from exhaust specialists Akrapovic and true Ferrari connoisseurs can try to spot the differences in the sound.

The new sport exhaust system helps the 458 Italia achieve an increase of 11 PS (8 kW) and 26 Nm of torque (19 lb-ft) over the standard exhaust all the while subtracting 14 kg from the curb-weight of the 458 due to its titanium construction.

Akropovic specializes in titanium exhaust systems for both cars and motorbikes and supplies sport exhaust equipment to several major automotive tuning houses.

Akrapovic should be making OEM parts for sport car manufacturers. Only thing that confuses me is the carbon fiber end of pipe. I thought that carbon fiber have too low melting temperature for that place

Carbon fiber reinforced polymers can withstand temperatures of over 400 degrees Celsius, so I think it should do just fine as a tip of an exhaust system.

But the new lamb concept has a full carbon fiber exhaust system, surely the temp would be higher than 400.

@dmanero...the exhaust of the lambo are made of PyroSic, which is an advanced glass-ceramic composite.

It's very good, but I think it sounds better stock. This version sounds a bit too close to the F430. In no way is it a bad thing (the F430 sounds great), but the stock 458 has a much more throaty sound.

Slovenia gets sexy Ferrari-style! The erotic Ferrari soundtrack AND curves are back with a bang! With a little help from Akrapovic; neither sexy nor easy on the tongue, but his work is Sicilian in execution. Spirito di Ferrari!
